My mother in law is interested in having a home protection pistol. I am going to recommend either the SP101 with a 4" barrel in a .32 magnum. She wants a pistol with VERY little recoil, easy to use adjustable sights, and a small grip (my GP100 was a little too large for her to reach the trigger effectively)- but one that is effective for home protection. I would recommend a .38, but she does not like the fixed sights on the SP101. We will test a S&W K frame, but unless the grip is significantly smaller than my GP100, I don't think it will work. J frames kick too much to be considered.
Questions:
1. How effective is a .32 H&R magnum?
2. Is the grip on a K frame much closer to the trigger than a GP100?
3. Any other recommendations?
